Hi! I seen some people saying they have pothos/monsteras in their fish tanks and I was just wondering if anyone has done this and if they had photos? Thanks!

I’ve rooted a lot of pothos in my aquariums… I have never wanted to go through with leaving them there as I prefer them in pots. But the best long-term have been peace lily and dieffenbachia. I’ll have to deep dive to get good photos as my aquariums are in a state of transition.

I guess I never know what to do with the vines, so leaving pothos in long-term was a hassle. Prefer upright plants for the aquarium. Just stick them in and let them grow 🤷‍♀️

I have a coworker who has Pothos in her aquarium. Says it’s grown a few feet in as many months (may be slightly exaggerating) but it’s a wonderful sight to see. Not sure how she went about planting it but I does work if done right.
